CHURCH, ROUND TOWER, GRAVEYARD & CROSS-CARVED STONE: RATHMESK, TRUMMERY ROUND TOWER in Trummery — Report the wrong picture

What is recorded here

Mortem is a round tower in a small field, not a castle or a showpiece. The church, graveyard and cross-carved stone belong with it, making one place where people worshipped, buried and marked what they believed. That is why it is still recorded. The field is small, but the meaning is not small.

The official Northern Ireland record identifies this as CHURCH, ROUND TOWER, GRAVEYARD & CROSS-CARVED STONE: RATHMESK, TRUMMERY ROUND TOWER. Recorded period: MEDIEVAL; UNCERTAIN. The official map point was placed at the centre of the recorded archaeological site from the source map reference.

Medieval round tower, likely 9th to 12th century, associated with an early Christian church and graveyard. Such towers are significant as they reflect the religious and architectural heritage of early Irish monastic sites.
